Uses Of Ammonia.

Put teaspoonful of ammonia in a
quart of warm soap-suds, dip cloth
in it and 60 over your solid paint. 1t
will cleanse and brighten it wonder
fully. To a pint of suds add tea
spoonful of ammonia, dip your forks
and spoons, rub with soft brush
and finished with chamOis skin.
For washing windows and mirrors it
is also very good. 1t will remove
grease from every fabric, and not in
jurc the garment. Put on the am.
monia nearly clear, lay a blotting pa
per over, and set hot iron on for a
moment. Also, a few drops in water
will cleanse and whiten muslin beauti-
fully. A few drops in bowl of VIA
ter, if the skin be oily, will remove all
greasiness and disagreeable odors.
Added to foot-bath it absorbs all OBJ
noxious smells and nothing is better
to remove dandruT from the hair.
For cleaning hair and nail brushes it
is equally good. For heartburn and
dyspepsia it is especially prepared
ten d.ops taken in wineglass of wa
ter will give relief. For house plants
five or six drops to every pint of Wa
ter, once a week, will make them
flourish. 1t is also good to cleanse
plant jars and remove dirt from jewel,
ry. Always keep a bottle of it in the
house, and have a glass stopper, as II
eats cork.

Star tling Statistics.
LEDGER |

Volume Xxx of the tenth census of
the United States, containing the re-
port on the statistics of wages in
manufacturing industries, IS ON our
table. There is a world of vital in
formation in the extensive compendium
for the statesman OF to-day, as well as
for the historian in the future. Pro-
badly nothing in the work is fraught
with so much interest as the various
sub-reports on the wages of girls and
women. On page 21, the wages of =
girl are stated at 66s cents a day for
1880 in a boot and shoe establishment
in Albany, New York, as against so
cents per diem in the year 1870. By
reference to page 81, it is seen that
the wages paid in clothing establish
ment in Kentucky, a tailor's wages
are put at 50 so, while for the same
work tailoress receives but 81 66a,
and as similar mandatory in Ohio,
the baster girls work is rewarded by
so cents day and the machine women
at 81 16. In paper factory in New
Jersey, a cutter girls wages rate as
high as Is cents each day of ten hours
employed. In the American Pin Com
pany of Waterbury, Conn.,, the pay to
girls is 833 cents per diem. The board
for women in Connecticut is stated at
- 25 yer week, and in Ohio the
board averaged So per week, so that
the narrow margin on which women
have to procure clothing and other
necessa-ies of life is in reality startling.
The disparity in the wages Of women
when compared to men in sedentary
occupations to which women are more
readily adapted, is crying evil that
calls for prompt and efficient Govern
ment redress. Is it any wonder that
the vast army OF lost women is being
constantly recruited when one con-
siders the grinding expressions under
which the women wage-workeis stag
ger even in free America! The work.
ingmen of the nation have organized,
and have by SO doing bettered their
condition even already, and to the ma
ture Of things some great women will
come from out the ranks of toll who
will emancipate her sex from exac-
tions too grevious to be borne.

Hop Items.

Commerce: Scott Hewitt, of Tacoma,
has invented a machine for picking
hops and expects to make success of
it and do the work of many pickers at
less cost to the grower. If he can
beat the festive klootchman at hop
picking he will revolutionize this in
dustry.
Meeker's foreman thinks his hops
are not quite equal to last year, but
that late cultivation has saved the
yinee from any serious effects of the
drouth. He cultivated up to the Goth
of July. The Meekers will begin sick
ing about the Sd of September. They
anticipate no trouble in securing all
the help needed.
Ezra Meeker in Washington Farmer:
Mr.. Yates writes me in regard to the
cost of raising hops, that the sum to-
tai would amount to 81 cents per
pound, and divides the cost of an
acre, yielding ton, as follows:

THE Washington Farmer, whose edi-
tor visited Olympia, few weeks ago,
contains a column article relating to
Olympia and her enterprises, which is
written from a different standpoint
from much that has appeared in print,
outlined by gentlemen wearing Seattle
goggles or Tacoma eyeglasses, which
color and limit the range Of vision
whenever turned towards anything but
themselves. The Farmer says:
When Washington Territory is
more thoroughly developed and the
new Northwest is. peopled by the
teaming millions that are coming,
Olympia will have a network of rail-
ways passing around the head of navi-
CATION on the Mediterranean of the
Pacific, very much as dozens of rail-.
ways now pass around the south end
of Lake Michigan, at Chicago. Time
and Commerce will prove that Olym-
pia possesses geographical, climatic
and marine advantages unequalled by
any possible competing point. All il
needs is less cent-per-cent. men

Reasons Why.

An Eastern exchange gives the
following reasons why taxes should be
reduced:
l. Because it is right. "Unneces-
sary taxation is unjust taxation" 1t
is monstrous injustice that the Gov
crnment should collect from the peO-
pie $l2O,OOO,00O year beyond its
needs.
2. Because it is wise. A Treasury
surplus is a standing temptation to
extravaganza. To enter upon schemes
for spending the surplus is to perpet.
uate for another generation the already
wickedly prolonged war taxes. To
make extravaganza the national
policy is to mortgage the future and
to discount prosperity that may moi
continue.
3. Because it would be relief to
the taxpayers. 1t is an insult of in
telligence to say that the people "dc
not feel an increase of As per cent
in the cost of $40O, 100000 of dutiablt
imports three-fourths Of which are
classed us necessaries.
4. Because the place for every
dollar not needed for the legitimate
expenses of the Government is in tn,
pockets of the men who make it."

CAPT. Powell, in his annual report
to the Interior Department, states as
follows: "The plan upon which OPP
erations are being conducted at the
mouth of the Columbia river is for a
low-tide jetty, four and a half miles
long but the work has been greatly
hampered by reason of an insufficient
quantity of stone and need Of much
greater development of quarirs in
the vicinity. Meanwhile preparations
are being made for handling the larg-
est amount that can be procured
driving piles for tramway and get
ting bumpers ready and on the
ground. During the winter the jetty
was extended shoreward 400 feet, on
account of the movement in that di-
rection of the tidewater line, so that
some of the piles and masonry were
undermined. 1t is expected that
next year the jetty will be extended
over the bar. There has been a great
/ deal of shifting Of ba RS in the vicinity
The amount thus far appropriated fol-
the work has been $2S7 500, of which
$12O,S6O has been expended. The
amount available on the LIST Of July
was $l53, ,959, and it is estimated that
50, ,42l 500 more will be required, ant
81 200 900 can be profitably expended
during the year ending June so

PACPER NEGROES.


- Wnnt CoQ We do with Tbemy'' 10 th0
QuesaSon In south Carolina.
COLUMBIA, s. c., Aug. 23.-It is
probable that the loss on the rice crop
will exceed by 100000 the estimate
of two weeks ago. Discouraging news
continues to come from the flooded
districts in the lower part of South
Carolina, along the Santee and Savan-
nah rivers. A very serious question
now before the rice planters is what
disposition is to be made of the ne.
groes on the plantations until the first
of next year. There is no way fol
them to earn a living and in the
meantime they will have to be sup
piled with food. If nothing is done
for these negroes during the next four
months they will starve.

Total cost of one ton. SITS

This is quite an accurate statement
of the cost in detail, where the yield
is ton to the acre. We do not aver
age a ton, and, in fact, not over 900
pounds, taking the whole Territory. l
have known two tons to be picked off
an acre-in fact have raised that many
myself, and believe that have some
that will go that many this year, yet l
do not expect an average of more
than LOO pounds. think that Mr..
Yates has placed high price on some
items, as well as high estimate on
his yield, yet, upon the whole, he is
not very far wide Of the mark" Our
off-hand standard estimate of cost is
nine cents per pound, baled, ready for
market.
The standard size, as given in" Hop
Culture" published in 1888, hold nine
teen and one-eighth bushels, struck
measure, which weighs an average of
one hundred pounds when green and
twenty-five pounds when dry. On
page 10 of this work is to be found
description of the shape of these boxes
and how to make them. The au-
thor says: "These standard boxes,
now generally adopted, are 5 feet 10
inches wide ut top, and feet 4 inches
in'length by l foot inches in width
Mt the bottom, all inside measure. The
corner posts are made of fir, two
f! inches square; the bottom is also
made of fir, and should be one piece
of three-quarter inch stuff. The sides
and ends measure % inches in depth
ON the slope and consist first at the
bottom of fir one by four inches, and
to which the bottom board is securely
nailed; next above this is half-inch
cedar; then next above this on the
sides, clear strip of fir IT by four
inches and 8 feet long, which projects
at each end and are of a shape suited
for use as handles, with which to carry
the box. Above this is another ten
inch cedar. The upper edge of this
should be thickly driven full of brads
or lath nails to prevent pickers from
slyly reducing the size Of the box by
splitting off part of the top board. At
the ends the by l! inch fir strip, to
correspond with that of the handles,
should be at the top as protection from
breaking by weight OF poles laid on it. !"

Of course with such an extent of
Territory and with such topograph-
ical features Of mountains, rivers,
lakes and plains there must exist great
climatic difference. We find the
mean temperature of the Eastern di-
vision in summer is 73 degrees, in
winter "a degrees; while that on the
Western division 63 degrees in sum-
mer and 80 in winter. In Western
Washington Territory flowers bloom
during eve:y month of the year. The
rain fall almost varies in accordance
with location. Washington Territory
can boast of some OF the most thriv-
ing and beautiful cities of the north
west.

LANDS

OF Washington Territory ore not only
of great extent, but very rich in quail
ity of soil. There are in round num-
bers 5000 600 acres OF alluvial bottom
lands, and twice that amount of
prairie and plain. We get from
these our best quality of hops and oats,
while all cereals grow to perfection
and yield abundantly. The most ex-
ccllont quality Of delicious fruits and
grapes are also raised over a great part
of the Territory. The mineral re-
sources are extensive and varied, com
prising in fact almost everything
which would come under that head
though at the present time coal takes
the lead.

Washington Territory.
AS SEEN BY REPRESENTATIVE OF A
SAN FRANCISCO EXCHANGE.

AS SEEN BY REPRESENTATIVE OF A
SAN FRANCISCO EXCHANGE.
Washington Territory was organized
on March 2, 1853, only thirty-four
years ago; in 1850 the population was
only 1854; in 1850 it had reached
75,116. Since that time, not more
more than seven years, it has doubled.
The Territory that can show such a
rapid and steady increase in popula-
ton in country having such wide
and comparatively thinly populated
territory as the United States of
America, must certainly possess within
her boundaries resources of the most
valuable and enduring character. Let
us then take cursory glance at the
sources of wealth, as the attractive
features q this vast domain, which
embraces an area of 69,994 square
miles, closing up on the north with
the dominions of Queen Victoria, hav-
ing Idaho On the east, Oregon south,
and facing the broad Pacific ocean on
the west. The geographical position
is grand one, especially when we con-
slider that the chief resources of the
Territory consists of
LUMBER.
Washington Territory is estimated
to contain within her borders 10000, :
600 acres of timber lands. In 1886 the
product of lumber was 500, 600, 900 feet
and of this amount, so great that the
mind cannot easily grasp it. 2OO,OOO,-
600 came to San Francisco, and a very
large amount went direct to southern
ports of California. These figures
show how largely We are indebted to
Washington Territory for our lumber
supply. There is also false impress
sion existing in the minds of many re-
garding this lumber. Every person
knows what Oregon pine is, but the
majority are not aware of the fact
that the lumber of Washington Terri
tory is embraced under that head,
though such is actually the case. We
have no space at present to do more
than glance cursorily at facts and
figures, the magnitude of which affords
much food for reflection. Think of
the hands employed and the COM
merce engcndered by this industry!
The
